Poetic justice indeed. Not only did Obama use Limbaugh in his victory but also that he had the money to do it. Old Rush is still rolling in the dough but I predict his influence is waning. Yes, a certain segment of society likes the authoritarian type and Rush fills that role, especially when he pulls a stunt like taking a picture of the 13 year old daughter of a supposed political enemy and comparing her to a dog on national TV. And of course it was all a mistake. A joke. This from a guy that demands "excellence in broadcasting."
The truth about Rush came out when he attempted to get his listeners to vote for Clinton in primaries that they were eligible to. His motivations were to help throw the Democratic Convention in Denver into chaos and result in rioting and fighting. Funny how it always comes back to Rush having someone else do the fighting for him. A true chicken hawk.
McCain Pollster Explains Loss, Calls Frank Luntz A Moron: "The final, and most surprising, was the Hispanic vote, which trended heavily towards Obama. McInturff said that the most effective commercial of the campaign was the Spanish-language spot, put up by the now president-elect, which claimed that conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was a McCain ally on immigration. Mainly, however, Obama had a huge financial advantage that allowed him to make great inroads within this and other minority communities.
'If the other team has 700 million and they are spending five times as much on Spanish language media saying that crap,' he said, 'it has an effect.'"
